As the first anniversary of the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel approaches, the IDF announced the elimination of key Hamas figures, including Rawhi Mushtaha, the head of the Hamas government in Gaza, and two other senior operatives, Sameh al-Siraj and Sami Oudeh. This airstrike, which occurred around three months ago in northern Gaza, is part of Israel`s ongoing military campaign against Hamas, which has intensified since last year`s attack. The IDF has focused on dismantling Hamas`s leadership, marking a significant year-long conflict. Additionally, the IDF recently targeted Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, killing him in airstrikes on September 27 in Beirut. This escalation highlights Israel`s multifaceted conflict with groups like Hamas and Iran-backed Hezbollah, underscoring the volatile security landscape in the region.
